It seems I only have made decisions in my life in full blown mania.
I remodeled a condo ,spent $25,000 on it. Took only 2 baths in the tub before I bought another and was deep into another project.
It seems I've never really stopped to smell the roses.
I got engaged to a man I knew for less than 2 weeks. During a giant mania attack. ( it did stick though. Married for over 20 years)
Another fast decision,I started a business then when it was up and running,instead of just enjoying the success, I started another business. Man.
This has been happening during my whole life.
But during depression I make no decisions. My life gets put on hold. All projects stop. No progress is made what so ever. Drag.
Is this a pattern in your life too?

Not really. I don't have the money to do all that. But I do start projectsw like cleaning my whole house or car out or make plans to go on a trip that I can't afford, but I plan it anyway.

No. It seems like my life is always on hold. I suck at making decisions.

Yes, during mania, I quit jobs and start new ones. I start remodels, start large craft projects and learn new crafts. I feel invincible. Unstoppable.
When depressed...I just want to hide under the covers and cry

I avoid major decisions in the midst of episodes. So as a result, I don't make major decisions very often.
